Today is #NystagmusAwarenessDay, set up by @nystagmusnetwork and held every year on 20 June. @e.c.r.b's video of her right eye shows her nystagmus, a condition which causes constant movement of the eyes which you can’t control.
She says "I always used to cover one of my eyes because it’s super wonky, but I’m proud of it now. It’s my own unique feature that makes me who I am. People say disabilities don’t define you. I disagree. My disability defines me but doesn’t restrict". #VisuallyImpaired #VisualImpairment #VisionImpaired #Blind #Blindness #SightLoss #Nystagmus #NystagmusAwareness
christian aged 4 yes 2 mths standing completely by himself !!!! and we got told he may never hold his own head or have control over his limbs we have been hiding this big secret whilst he got steady to surprise everyone, he’s worked towards this for years hours and hours of incredibly hard work in conductive education at @rainbow_house_charity and with physio, this last week or two christian has started standing for short times completely alone (he holds things in his hands to feel steady) this morning he stood for a whole 50 seconds, to think his prognosis was he would prob never do this in a lifetime and he’s got here aged just 4 years 2 mths old, couldn’t be prouder in a million years. love you so much Christian, you never give up mummy’s little miracle ❤️

Make Instagram accessible for blind and partially sighted people by adding image descriptions so everyone can enjoy your photos.
When posting your image, click on "Advanced settings" and then select "Accessibility". You'll then have the option to "Write alt text". You should also write your description in the post.
You should also capitalize the first letter of each word in hashtags, so that screen reader software reads the words out separately. This also makes hashtags #EasierToRead!
The three images are graphics with the RNIB logo, a pink line and the text:
1. Make Instagram accessible for blind and partially sighted people
2. Add image descriptions so everyone can enjoy your photos
3. Capitalise the first letter of each word in hashtags #EasierToRead

had an incredible time signing along to the songs and rocking out at @bonjovi concert at Anfield last night, Iv been a massive Bon Jovi fan as long as I can remember and love every single song, was an amazing night. Here’s some clips of me signing some of my favourites and also me and family rocking out, can anyone spot me dancing so madly i nearly fall down the stairs had to leave it in the vid haha, how fab is my little sister Lucy Lu signing along with me to some of the songs. Just a shame Christian couldn’t be there as the sound in the stadium would have been too much even with ear defenders and there were lots of people drinking. He loves Bon Jovi too though, we love signing the song “always” so we will film that one week together for you all ❤️ song filmed in BSL signs in lyric order (SSE) @jade_kilduff @christiankilduff_zebedee_model @zebedee_management @davidbryanmusic #signlanguage #communication #littlebro #bigsis #siblinglove #cerebralpalsy #cpwarrior #hie #hopeforhie #miracle #visualimpairment #love #signalongwithus #teamzebedee #BSL #SSE
Mister Rogers was inclusive, kind and empathetic - he would have fit right in with us here in the #BlindNewWorld! ❤️

super proud of Christian, he attends a drama class on saturdays for pre school age children. they did a little show at weekend and he blew me away. I thought the noise of the audience would scare him and he’d need his headphones on and that he may not join in but he seemed to love it and did so many of the actions (how fab was his rowing ) so proud, my little miracle thank you very much to all the ladies at @tracingsteps for being so inclusive and working so hard with all the children and thanks to big sister @jade_kilduff who works part time for tracing steps and helped him on stage ❤️ @zebedee_management #teamzebedee #zebedeemanagement #zebedeemodel #cerebralpalsy #seetheablenotthelabel #cerebralpalsyawareness #hie #hopeforhie #visualimpairment #braininjury #cpwarrior #miracle #childmodel #changingthefaceofbeauty #showtime #tracingsteps #performer
